CAA’s Worst Roads campaign returns for 2014

The arrival of spring means increased hours of daylight, warmer temperatures, and of course puddles. With the melting snow, motorists will notice that conditions of our well travelled roads and highways will be much more evident. Motorists will be able to identify and also vote for the worst roads in our province with the return of CAA Saskatchewan’s Worst Roads campaign. And just what exactly defines a worst road? Typically these are roads that have potholes, cracks, are in general disrepair, have no or poor signage, as well as roads with little or no shoulder space or roads that are too narrow for motorists and cyclists to share safely. The 2014 CAA Saskatchewan Worst Roads campaign goes from April 1 to April 25. This fourweek campaign allows mo- torists to identify the roads that they feel are in need of repair or require attention. Motorists can cast a vote at www.caask.ca/worstroads.

The campaign will be monitored with updated information on which roads in our province are getting the top votes. The information will be made available via news releases, social media including Facebook and Twitter, as well as caask.ca. Like the previous two campaigns, the top 10 roads will be shared with the appropriate government bodies.

CAA Saskatchewan acknowledges the improve- ments made to Saskatchewan roadways for the safety of all motorists and travellers. But there is still work to be done and who better to help identify roads in need of repair than the motorists who rely on them every day for work, leisure and family travel.
